Journal ArticleDOI
Motion sensitive interneurons in the optomotor system of the fly
TL;DR: The three horizontal cells of the lobula plate of the blowflyCalliphora erythrocephala were studied anatomically and physiologically by means of cobalt impregnations and intracellular recordings combined with Procion and Lucifer Yellow injections.
Journal ArticleDOI
“Ringer”, solutions and some notes on the physiological basis of their ionic composition
TL;DR: The composition of about 100 physiological salines for use with fish, amphibia, mammals, birds, annelids, crustacea, insects and molluscs is given together with analyses of the blood composition of some of the species of animals most frequently used in physiological experiments.
Journal ArticleDOI
On the neuronal basis of figure-ground discrimination by relative motion in the visual system of the fly
TL;DR: The role the FD-cells and the Horizontal Cells are likely to play in figure-ground discrimination can be demonstrated by computer simulations of a composite neuronal model consisting of the model circuits for these cell types.
Journal ArticleDOI
On the neuronal basis of figure-ground discrimination by relative motion in the visual system of the fly I: Behavioural constraints imposed on the neuronal network and the role of the optomotor system
TL;DR: A new class of large-field tangential neurones (Figure Detection (FD-) cells) has been found and analysed in the lobula plate, the posterior part of the third visual ganglion, of the fly by combined extra-and intracellular recording as well as Lucifer Yellow injection, likely to play a prominent role in figure-ground discrimination.
Journal ArticleDOI
Insect acid-base physiology.
TL;DR: Evidence to date suggests that the dominant mechanisms for control of renal acid-base excretion involve hormonal regulation of H+-V-ATPase activity.

Journal ArticleDOI
The Regulation of Respiration in the Flea, Xenopsylla cheopis, Roths. (Pulicidae)
TL;DR: The object of the present work was to study in greater detail the spiracular movements of an insect in which these are not complicated by mechanical ventilation, and the common rat flea of the tropics, Xenopsylla cheopis, has proved an ideal subject.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Respiration of Insects Through the Skin
TL;DR: Experiments with other insects, Chaerocampa elpenor larvae (spiracles blocked with grease), Tenebrio molitor larvae and Culex sp.
Journal ArticleDOI
Carbon Dioxide and Oxygen Effects on the Spiracles of Flies
TL;DR: The present investigation has been directed toward the analysis of the functioning of this sensory apparatus in terms of the reactions to CO and 02 of the metathoracic spiracles of two species of flies, Musca domestica L. and Callitroga macelleria (Fabr.).
Journal ArticleDOI
The Physiology of Carbon Dioxide Transport in Insect Blood: Part I. The Form of Carbon Dioxide Present in Gastrophilus Larva Blood
TL;DR: The slope of the curves indicates that the whole of the CO 2 is given off at zero CO 2 tension, and that the blood is adapted for functioning at high CO 2 tensions, as well as the ‘apparent’ dissociation constant for carbonic acid.
